Rocket trims workforce after completing Mr. Cooper acquisition
"Following the Mr. Cooper acquisition, we carefully reviewed our combined structure, identified overlapping roles and made the difficult decision to streamline teams, the company said in a statement to HousingWire. Rocket closed the $14.2 billion acquisition in early October about 51% higher than the valuation announced in March after completing all necessary approvals. Jay Bray became the president and CEO of subsidiary Rocket Mortgage."
"As of December 2024, Mr. Cooper employed roughly 7,900 workers across the U.S. and India, while Rocket had about 14,200 team members, according to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The company has since added Redfin with its $1.75 billion all-stock acquisition of the real estate brokerage and implemented a 2% layoff in July to achieve synergies. According to the company, these decisions of reducing workforce weren't made lightly,"
